Scumbag God, I can see the entry of desire.

The crystal chandelier in the bedroom made the Simmons bed appear even more elegant.

Lin Lang had changed into a moon-white brocade nightgown and was leaning comfortably against the soft couch, his feet soaking in the warm water in a brass basin.

A maid squatting to the side was helping Lin Lang wash his feet.

Her movements were gentle, her fingertips applying just the right amount of pressure as she slowly massaged Lin Lang's ankles upwards, relieving the day's fatigue.

She kept her eyes down, focused solely on her work. Once the water had cooled slightly, she took the plain cotton towel draped over the edge of the basin and carefully lifted Lin Lang's feet, meticulously drying every drop of water from the ball of his foot to his heel, leaving no spot untouched, not even between his toes.

"Your Majesty, I have returned." Fu Yuxue's voice was soft and gentle as she stepped into the palace and saw this scene.

She paused slightly, then stepped forward, her gaze falling on the cotton towel in the maid's hand, and said softly, "Your Majesty, let me wash your feet myself."

Lin Lang looked up at the charming Fu Yuxue, a smile playing in his eyes: "No need, I've already finished washing."

Upon hearing this, the maid immediately picked up the copper basin and the used cotton towel, curtsied, and quietly withdrew, leaving the two of them alone.

Lin Lang stood up in his soft-soled slippers and, before Fu Yuxue could react, reached out and pulled her into his arms.

His familiar scent and faint tobacco smell instantly put Fu Yuxue at ease.

"My beloved concubine, you've been taking Ling'er around Luoyang all day. Are you tired?" He lowered his head and gently rubbed his chin against Fu Yuxue's head, his voice so tender it could melt hearts.

Fu Yuxue's cheeks flushed, and she gently wrapped her arms around Lin Lang's waist, burying her face in his warm chest, her voice soft and shy.

"I'm not tired. This is the first time Ling'er has seen the bustling Luoyang. Seeing how happy my daughter is, and with Your Majesty accompanying her on this trip, I don't feel tired at all."

Lin Lang chuckled softly, his fingers gently combing through the stray hairs at Fu Yuxue's temples, his fingertips occasionally brushing against her earlobe, causing her to tremble slightly.

"That's good," Lin Lang lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on Fu Yuxue's forehead. "If you're tired, we should rest early. If you're not tired, we can discuss having a son."

Fu Yuxue shyly raised her head. Under the lamplight, Lin Lang's eyebrows and eyes looked particularly gentle. She couldn't help but reach out and gently touch his brow bone with her fingertips, saying coquettishly, "Your Majesty, you have been favoring Princess Jin Yao these days. It's been almost a month since you've let me serve you in bed."

"Uh..." Lin Lang chuckled awkwardly, "Really?"

Fu Yuxue pouted and complained, "That's right! I don't know what kind of Silla Kingdom seductive arts Princess Jin Yao knows, that she has captivated His Majesty. He's been favored by His Majesty for half a month straight. The sisters are starting to have opinions about her, afraid that she's drained His Majesty's body dry."

Lin Lang took Fu Yuxue's hand, kissed it gently, and coaxed, "It's all my fault for neglecting my beloved concubine. I'll make sure I call on you more often to serve me in bed from now on, okay?"

"Really?" Fu Yuxue's eyes lit up.

Lin Lang coaxed gently, "Of course it's true. How can you give your son a better life if you don't choose your beloved concubine to serve you in bed?"

Fu Yuxue nestled against Lin Lang's chest like a little bird, and said gratefully, "Your Majesty, thank you for personally taking me back to Luoyang for the funeral. If it weren't for Your Majesty's timely intervention, my mother would probably be separated from me by death."

Lin Lang gently patted Fu Yuxue's shoulder and comforted her, "My dear consort, you flatter me. There is no need for thanks between us. Seeing that my mother-in-law's tuberculosis has been cured, I am also very gratified and happy for you and my brothers."

Fuyu Xue hugged Lin Lang tightly and said, "Your Majesty, I must thank you again for curing my son's lameness, relieving my second brother and sister-in-law of a worry, and allowing the eldest son of our Fuyu family to stand tall."

Lin Lang said gently, "Seeing Chen'er regain his confidence and become so cheerful makes me very happy."

Fu Yuxue tilted her head slightly, looking at Lin Lang with teary eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, you have no idea how happy my mother was to see that her grandson's lameness had been cured."

Lin Lang raised his hand and stroked Fu Yuxue's beautiful face, then asked with a smile, "I believe that my mother-in-law, my son, and Yao'er will all be very happy to be able to stay in Chang'an with you for a while this time."

With tears in her eyes and a smile in them, Fu Yuxue said, “Yes! There are so many new and interesting things in our mansion. Chen’er and Yao’er have broadened their horizons. With my eldest granddaughter and grandson by my side, Mother can stay in Chang’an with me for a while longer without worry.”

Lin Lang said, "Take Chen'er and Yao'er to play in Chang'an for a few days first, and then send the two children to school. We can't let their studies be delayed."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yuxue chuckled and said, "When Yao'er learns that there is a special girls' school in Chang'an that teaches not only reading and writing but also music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, she will definitely be eager to enroll."

Lin Lang chuckled and joked, "No wonder people say that your aunt is the closest to her own nephews and nieces. My dear consort, that's really true."

Fu Yuxue replied playfully, "I live a life of luxury in Chang'an, like an imperial concubine, while my family in Luoyang is struggling to make ends meet. I feel bad about that."

"Besides, before I left my family home, all six of my brothers doted on me, their only sister. How could I not miss my family?"

Lin Lang gently pinched Fu Yuxue's nose and said affectionately, "Now I've given my six brothers a way to make money. Just by doing the 'Shanghai Small Commodities Wholesale and Retail' business, they can quickly become rich and become one of the wealthiest merchant families in Luoyang. Now you have nothing to worry about, right?"

"Yes, seeing that my brother and sister-in-law are living a good life makes me feel less guilty."

Lin Lang said gently, "Even if it's just out of love for your family, I will make sure your family lives a good life from now on."

Touched, Fu Yuxue tiptoed slightly and pecked Lin Lang on the lips.

Lin Lang's heart trembled at the unexpected kiss, and he instinctively pulled Fu Yuxue closer to his waist, his nose brushing against the faint fragrance of her hair, his voice becoming slightly hoarse.

"My beloved concubine's bite has touched my very heart."

Fu Yuxue blushed even more at Lin Lang's words, her fingertips clutching the brocade edge of his robe, her eyes full of tenderness: "Then Your Majesty should try more of this in the future, and I will give Your Majesty sweets every day."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Lang lowered his head and kissed her luscious red lips.

His kiss was not as forceful as it was usually, but rather like a spring stream, gently washing over her trembling lips with endless tenderness, making Fuyu Xue almost melt in his arms.

The halo of light from the crystal chandelier flowed over their embracing figures, blurring the dark patterns on Fu Yuxue's skirt into a flowing galaxy.

Fu Yuxue returned Lin Lang's kiss with a blush on her face, as gentle as a spring breeze caressing newly blossoming petals.

Lin Lang felt the warmth of the beauty in his arms and gradually deepened the sweet kiss.

Fu Yuxue's fingertips tightened unconsciously, the force with which she gripped Lin Lang's robe revealing the throbbing in her heart. Her eyelashes trembled slightly as they brushed against his chin, like butterfly wings brushing against her heart.

Lin Lang noticed Fu Yuxue's proactive response and kissed her even more gently, with a hint of imperceptible patience, as if he were cherishing a rare treasure.

The hall was so quiet that you could hear each other's overlapping breaths, mixed with the faint fragrance of perfume emanating from Fu Yuxue, weaving a soft net in the air and shutting out all the noise.

Lin Lang's hand slowly moved to the back of Fu Yuxue's neck, his fingertips gently caressing her delicate skin, lifting her head slightly, making the kiss more tender and passionate.

This time, Lang Ge was unusually calm, gently pecking at Fu Yu Xue's lips repeatedly, tenderly caressing them as if savoring a vintage honey wine, cherishing every touch.

Fu Yuxue gradually relaxed, wrapped her arms around Lin Lang's neck, her tiptoes went slightly weak, and she leaned against his strong chest, her breath filling her nostrils with a reassuring scent.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Lang slowly stepped back a little, his forehead touching Fu Yuxue's forehead, his warm breath falling on her flushed cheeks.

He looked at the tears welling up in Fuyu Xue's eyes, gently wiped the moisture from the corner of her lips with his thumb, and said in a voice warmer than the candlelight in the palace, "My beloved consort, you are so beautiful!"

Fu Yuxue's cheeks burned even hotter. She buried her face in Lin Lang's neck and heard a deep laugh from his chest, a tenderness that made her heart tremble.

"Your Majesty, you're saying sweet things to make me happy again."

Lin Lang's eyes were full of laughter: "If you keep seducing me like this, I'll keep you up all night and won't let my beloved concubine sleep."

Fu Yuxue buried her head even deeper, her voice barely audible: "Your Majesty, I wish to bear you a son, and it would be best if I conceived tonight..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Lang scooped Fu Yuxue up in his arms, causing her to whimper, "Your Majesty, please be gentle with me tonight."

The crystal lamp beside the soft couch reflected a soft, shimmering light, which fell upon the intertwined shadows of the two people, making the air feel warm and cozy.

Lin Lang gently placed Fu Yuxue on the bed, leaned down and gazed at her beautiful face, his fingertips slowly sliding down her eyebrows and eyes.

"My beloved concubine, you happen to be in your fertile period today. I will put in some effort tonight and I am sure I can help you conceive a son as you wish."

"Your Majesty, really?" Fu Yuxue looked at Lin Lang with a flushed face, her eyes full of expectation and shyness.

Lin Lang's breath fell on Fu Yuxue's neck, carrying a warm, ticklish sensation: "Of course it's true! I never speak falsehoods."

"Your Majesty, please turn off the lights!" Fu Yuxue reached out to push Lin Lang's chest, but he grabbed her wrist and pressed it against the pillow.

"It's so nice to have the lights on. I love seeing my beloved concubine blush."

Fu Yuxue felt as if her heart was being gently tickled by a feather. She couldn't help but raise her hand to encircle Lin Lang's neck, lean close to his ear, and whisper in a slightly coquettish and ambiguous voice, "Then Your Majesty... you must take a good look tonight."

Lin Lang chuckled softly, kissing Fu Yuxue's fair neck and gently stroking her long hair with his hand, his movements incredibly tender.

Moonlight streamed through the window screen, mingling with the lights inside the hall, and fell upon the figures of the two embracing, turning this moment of tenderness into the softest poem in time.
